rebuilding the base.
Haven't posted in too long.
I'm currently rebuilding my fitness after about 9 months off from a stress fracture, followed by a nasty case of plantar fasciitis, followed by patellar tendonitis. I think I've run about 300 miles in the last 9 months...maybe. Hopefully that will change. I'm starting by running lots of slow easy short runs, and go from there! I still have some small muscle imbalances, but I think those will go away over time and some strengthening exercises.
The stress fracture was a real bitch. I had been running a 10K, and I was hunting the elusive sub-40. I was well under 20 at the fiveK, and then completely blew a tire, and had to walk home. Walking on a foot stress fracture HURTS! I don't ever recommend it. Ever.
